asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether 6th April 1976 will be the first appointed day under the Community Land Act 1975; or if he intends to vary this if the introduction of the Development Land Tax Bill is further delayed.

As my right hon. Friend the Paymaster-General said in reply to the hon. Member today, the Ways and Means Resolution on which the DLT Bill will be founded is being tabled today, so the question of further delay does not arise.
